Uh and how other global economies compete ? So you want to protect these employees by "artificial" regulations ?

Judging by your surname your ancestors were also fleeing from one of those low cost european countries.

All good in Austria.

Lots of sites were down for me, Austria as well (just West of Vienna). (EDIT: But things seem to be back to normal now.)

Is not their research coming mainly from OpenSparc project

i wonder if you guys have considered moving to much cheaper country like Thailand or Malaysia. Or is being in the US part of the success ?

We have considered spending some time in Thailand, but we are concerned that the fixed costs of moving (plane tickets, visa, etc.) would outstrip the month-to-month savings unless we chose to stay there for over a year.

While our project estimate could be wrong, we intend to spend much less than a year working on our prototype before we can raise.

Our potential customers are almost all in SF, NY, LA, DC, and Boston. If we stayed in America, we would not be living in any of those cities, but could travel to some of them by car.

If living with parents I don't see a savings to pay to live in Thailand.

I live in a country which has a strict gun control on its civilians (even if you acquire a license). Yet those that have the money and connections ( and I am not talking about mafia or really powerful individuals...I am talking "upper middle class) can easily get the license or guns.

On top of that we export disabled guns that are easily modified to a normal guns...and are of course affordable and easy to get by ...terrorists ?

I do not feel safer because we have a strict gun control. I am safe because my country is insignificant.

1) Brand 2) Data 3) explain millions why to register to yet another service and why 4) make it popular

5) absorbing a would-be competitor :)

I'd like to see some high performance ruby implementation for backend stuff (even if limited to some extent ...) sort of like what RubyMotion is for iOS/OS X.

I can imagine a lot of stuff that could benefit from this on the other hand I can see why it has not been done (costs, complexity etc).

Anyway I am sad that RubyMotion is not just as popular as Rails is. That is...very surprising...

Ehm Docker did not invent anything. They polished an existing technology and made it better (not that it's a wrong thing). Many companies / teams do this.

And btw this is a big problem in OSS. We have a lot of good stuff and underpaid people / teams / companies. Because of OSS zealots and leeches.

Jobs ads for example: "whatever position" but keywords : ruby, rails, ember, hula, dancing etc @ Berlin

What people search for

anything else ?

Thanks for the answer. Unfortunately, I still don't understand what exactly the question is about.

Good luck.

Anyone have an opinion about emacs on Windows ? I am forced to work on Windows and have no idea about the setup here.

It's really easy. You download a zip file and extract it somewhere. Then you launch "runemacs.exe".

I use it as my primary editor. Works pretty much out of the box, unless you need image support, in which case you have to download dozens of different dlls for each image type.
